Paedophile locked up for sexually abusing two young girls

A paedophile who sexually abused two young girls has been jailed for 14 years.

Brendan Simcock, from Stockport , began molesting his two victims when both were under the age of 10.

Simcock, 40, was brought to justice more than a decade later after the youngest victim bravely came forward.

Based on information she provided, officers then approached a second girl who had also suffered his abuse.

The sex attacks happened over a five year period, between 2001 and 2006.

A jury found Simcock, of Woodhall Crescent, Reddish, guilty of five counts of indecent assault against the youngest girl, and six counts against the older girl at an earlier hearing.

At Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court on Thursday, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison and has been added to the sex offender register for life.

He was also given a lifetime sexual harm prevention order.
